An interesting log about your SV. I don't know what it is about the SV, I bought mine in 2016 and other companion bikes have come and gone and irrespective of how they perform, I still hold my SV as the benchmark to judge them. Now at 40k miles, it's the longest I've owned a bike in mileage and time.

As you and I have discussed I, too, have the occasional 1 cylinder start up; rare, random and, for me, usually at a petrol station it clears with just a whiff of throttle.

My petrol gauge has not succumbed to the "snake" (yet) although it now yields a lower predicted range than it used to in cold weather. The only other issue I've had was the gear indicator getting confused between first and second. Leaving it parked in first overnight fixed that 3 or 4 years ago.
